Harry added: "We were expecting the worse, thankfully he is stable now, he’s coming out of it.

"I am looking forward to getting him awake, getting him home and probably getting a Big Mac down him. He has not eaten God love him in nearly five days, so I’ll be letting him do what he wants for a few days and spoiling him.”

Police and the fire service have been working to clear a bonfire site at Glenwood Street, off the Shankill Road after a number of drums containing a hazardous substance were dumped.

Officer say they are concerned a number of other young people in the area could have potentially come into contact with this substance.

On Wednesday evening, Inspector Laura Kelly spoke out to urge parents whose children who have in the area to seek medical advice if their children display symptoms.

She said: "We are asking any other parents to keep an eye on their children, if they have any symptoms, redness of eyes, sore throats, coughing, any problems breathing to see medical advice immediately.

"Those symptoms can take up to 36 hours to develop, so there is a possibility there may have been other children in and around that area and we just want to make sure they are OK."
